    imam sanusi in its commentary explains the 7th reason thus:

    sh muqaddimat, p.123.png


    and the reason why i emphasised that anyone who cannot provide definitions in arabic and is unable to understand the terms in arabic is incapable of holding an argument in this science - especially when one's entire argument is based on translations and is incapable of differentiating between khalq, iradah, etc.

    sh. muqaddimat p.124a.png


    and of course, jahl murakkab.

    Imām al-Sanūsī has said in his Al-Muqaddimāt: The origin of disbelief and heresy is rooted in seven causes:

    1. Al-Iyjāb al-Dhātī: Essential Necessity – meaning that the universe exists because of its underlying cause [tálīl] is Allāh, nor on its own nature, and that Allāh has no choice [except to create it].[1]

    [update: this is the claim of philosophers and also naturalists of our time who say that the universe exists on its own]

    NOTE: In other words, this means: the universe HAS to exist and that Allāh has no choice except to create it. [this is the claim of kuffar, not muslims. ]

    2. Al-Taĥsīn al-Áqlī: Rational Basis for Good [or Evil] – That the Actions and Commands of Allāh are dependent on what is deemed rationally right to do; in other words, either for obtaining benefit [jalb al-maşāliĥ] or to ward off harm [dar’ al-mafāsid].

    3. Al-Taqlīd al-Radiy: Deplorable Imitation – Following someone else’s opinion merely because of prejudice or bias and not in the search of truth.

    4. Al-Rabţ al-Áādī: Natural Correlation and Causation – This is believing that X leads to Y and hence it exists or not; ad infinitum.

    5. Al-Jahl al-Murakkab: Compound Ignorance: That a person is ignorant of the truth; and does not know that he is ignorant.

    6. Al-Tamassuk fī Áqā’id al-Īymān bi Mujarradi Żawāhir al-Kitāb wa’l Sunnah: Literal Interpretation of Qur’ān and Ĥadīth in creedal matters – without reconciling them with rational proofs and doctrinal issues clearly and explicitly specified by the Sharīáh.

    7. Al-Jahl bi’l Qawāýid al-Áqliyyah: Ignorance of the Principles of Rational Argument – by which one learns about what is rationally necessary, permissible and impossible. AND the Arabic language: knowledge of Arabic linguistics, syntax, grammar, semantics, stylistics and rhetoric, etc.


    [1] Dr. Bazm: A good analogy is the sun and its light. The sun has no will of its own in emitting the light or stopping it from being given out; and it is the basis of the light, the light depends on the sun; and the underlying cause [íllah] cannot stop emitting light – therefore light is present by the mere presence of the sun. [i.e. Allah created the universe with His Will; it is not that it just existed because inevitably it had to exist].

    However Allāh táālā is not such an underlying cause [íllah] for the universe to exist. Because, He created it after He Willed to create it – and it did not exist before its creation; and Allāh táālā was present in Pre-eternity [al-azal] before He created the universe. Therefore, Allāh táālā is not the ‘dependent cause’ for the existence of this universe – because He has always existed when nothing else had come into existence.
